so umm..... how are the "Anime/Manga of the Fortnight" and "Series of the Month" suppose to work?

Do we just stare at them, nod a bit, and just move on? Do we not get to comment/discuss about it or anything?

If the intention is to direct the people to the respective forum threads, why don't you include links to them? (although I don't think Baccano has one...) Or our we suppose to head to the Clubhouse to talk about them?

Though personally, I'd rather be able to add comments on the thread itself....

You're supposed to be able to comment. I just forgot it was locked. Only discussions that aren't picked yet will be locked.

^ This. There should really be links to our respective discussions.

Actually, what if those threads served as temporary discussion threads, and then were merged with their threads in the other forum when it was time to pick new series for display?

I'm going to link to the respective discussion thread (if it exists), and link back to the AoTF/SoTM threads. Can discuss wherever they see fit, then.

To my understanding, by using the format Dew posted as an example with the Baccano and Boku no Hero threads, you can post recommandations and Dew will make the selection.

Oh, I forgot to say but I was just asking for this first round. Cause I didn't see any poll or recommendation thread and DEW already had Baccano thread up so I thought for the first run DEW would do everything by himself to make example.

So, do we suggest the series in here or in the ''Welcome...'' thread?

You can do a full write up in the appropriate subforum. So like if you're going to recommend an anime do it in the Manga/Anime of the Fortnight. I'll lock it until it's chosen.

Discussions can happen on 4 levels: Analisys, Prediction, Speculation, Fan FictionAnalisys - (100% canon) - it's used to clarify what has already happenedPrediction - (90-80% canon) - it's used to make a very likely guess, the missing 10-20%, based on an high rate of canon as basisSpeculation - (70-60% canon) - it's used to explore ideas and concepts, which have still to happen, or which the source didn't have time to fully exploreAnalisys, Predictions and Speculations NEVEN break the canon, and never change or contraddict the canonFan Fiction - (some canon is respected, some canon is broken) - it's used to make "what if" scenarios, how things could have gone differently

WARNING - mistaking a level of discussion for an other level can lead to misunderstandingsusually people are able to instinctively recognize the level the discussion is happening on, but ask when in doubt

Remember also the basic ingredients for any discussion: HONESTY and READINGWhen you go into a discussion, leave your ego at home, the dicussion isn't about You, it's about the Story.

Discussion aside, try to always be nice, and know where the discussion starts and where it ends, no one likes to have their time wasted.

the "3 anime to follow" suggestions go into the subsection "anime/manga forth" or somewhere else?

i've only seen this in the rules:

"Don't like what I have chosen? It's up to you guys to let me know. This club is for all of OMF: your input is important."

but it's not specified "where" to input, and "when", i mean it's possible to leave any input before the selection is made?

what happens when one serie is chosen? are all the threads in the "recommendations" sections cleared (or merged, or taken away to leave room for a new wave of suggestions)?

are there some rules in place to avoid a serie getting featured more than one time, or to keep track of the past selections? (a public track thread would be interesting to have)

I'm still slightly confused too, but I think the intent is that the Fortnight section is meant to be a "recommendations" section where people are free to post their recommendations. Among the recommendations, our fearless leader DEW will pick a series to be chosen as the "Anime/Manga of the Fortnight" and pin it to the top. Of course, I could be totally wrong

Whether the thread gets archived or merged with Animanga section is something I'm not sure. If they do get move/archived/merged, we should at least have a master-list of the series that have been recommended/chosen already....

I decided I'll try posting one recommendation every week, rotating between manga/anime. (although i'll probably run out of anime at some point since my manga library is a lot larger...)

As for how the monthly thing works, i'm gonna see what happens on Feb.

So DEW, how about Kubera as next months manga of the month?
Why? Because if the world isn't reading Kubera, they are depriving themselves of perhaps the best mystery series being published at the moment

The Nominations for OMF Top 20 ongoing Manga for August/September are over. The results can be seen here!

For the three anime to follow it's mostly going to be me picking, but if you have recommendations (for the anime specifically) you can put it into this thread and I'd take it into account.

For the rest of the recommendations, you can do what Ruggia did and post it in the respective subforum. I'll lock it until its time to replace the new thread and pin it up once the time is over.

Series won't get picked more than once, but a public track thread is a nice idea. I'll work on it.

Kubera is by far my favourite series; however, I'm waiting for the right time. Not enough people have been sucked in yet.

This was all created so I could one day recommend Kubera en masse. Shh, don't tell Greg.

I think wait until Kubera is no.1 in the Top100 Manga.

For next month I recommend Nanatsu no Taizai. That thing needs to be the one replacing Naruto.

Nanatsu no Taizai already has its fair share of fans. IMO it doesn't need the popularity boost.

So you can basically recommend a title yourself as long as you follow the given structure?

Yes. It wasn't meant for me to sit there and recommend my taste to you all.

If you think you have a better structure by all means use your own. I just want it to look nice.
